How to play
Wordle meets a recipe book. Name the dish in as few clues as you can.
A mystery dish a day. You start with one clue on the table.
Guess whenever you like. A wrong guess reveals the next clue automatically, so every miss costs you.
Stuck but want to save your guess? Pass to flip the next clue without guessing.
Clues get easier as you go: ingredients first, then the dish type, then the cuisine near the end.
The chillies next to the date rate the day’s difficulty, from one (a dish everyone knows) to five (one for the food nerds).
Solve on fewer clues for more stars. Run out of clues and guesses, and the dish stays on the menu for tomorrow.
Solving dailies builds your streak. Missed a day? You have two days to solve it from the archive before the chain breaks. A failed day breaks it on the spot.
